About our window mastic in Farley Hill
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you’re dealing with old mastic that has gone black or come away and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Farley Hill is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows

That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Farley Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
What window mastic looks like in Farley Hill
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House (about 3.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Farley Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near St Eligius, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Farley Hill Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Common problems we fix in Farley Hill
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Rented homes near Wokingham station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the colour is chosen

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
